Tool-Of-The-Month - Sanding Burrs 
Each month this year, we're investing in our customers by offering a promotion that we call the Tool-of-the-Month. With a nominal sized purchase, you can get a great steal on a tool that will help you build models with less effort, and that look better too. We at Apogee feel that if you build up your tool chest, you'll be more likely to build more models in the future. It is our hope that you'll think of Apogee Components first when you are looking to expand your rocketry fleet. This month our tool is a five pack of sanding burrs. These were custom made specifically for us, and they are extremely useful for tip sanding. In other words, they allow you to reach into those tight spaces where you can't get ordinary sandpaper into. I use them all the time on the back end of rockets, which for me is one of the most difficult places to get smooth. The other nice thing about these is the perma-grit on the shafts. I wanted really fine grain grit, so that it would be useful for that final sanding of the part. It is like having 400 grit sandpaper, but much easier to use. And the grit is permanently bonded to the shaft, so they will last a lifetime. The offer this month is that if you spend $100 on merchandise, the sanding burrs are just $2.39. That is 80% off their regular price of $11.95. You won't find that deal anywhere on the internet, and not just because they were custom made for us. Think about the offer this way: if you get the Quick Draw rocket and a pack of composite rocket motors, you're already at the spend requirement to get the special deal. And if you do the deal before Tuesday, you get the special super glue extension tips too! The January Tool-of-the-Month ends at midnight on the 31st. After that, we'll be starting the February deal. Don't miss out, as it won't be repeated! Coming Next Week: What you'll see in Peak-of-Flight Newsletter #591 is an article I wrote that describes the differences in shock cord materials. We get that question all the time from people, so I decided to write about the pros and cons of each type of material that we sell. Also in the issue is a free plan called the Minotaur XL. This rocket is based around a 2.2 inch BT-70 size tube, and sort of resembles the Pegasus rocket. It features a top mounted wing that has a neat saddle structure that gives it a blended body look. If you want to see the RockSim file, it is already on the Apogee website, but you'll have to wait until Tuesday to get the templates for the wing sandle.
